FREE! Enjoy any time!
20 participating "Spooky Stroudsburg" businesses will have clues in their front windows. Start at any business with a "Mystery Around Main Street" clue in their front window.
Detective! We need your help!
A thief stole the winning
carved pumpkin! Witnesses are speechless. All they will say is one letter each! Search downtown Stroudsburg's businesses to find & unscramble all 20 letters to uncover which witness is the culprit! Collect witness names too: they are suspects!
Beware! The thief and their two primary conspirators will give you false letters!
Tell StroudRec@Gmail.com who the Pumkin thief is thief and you'll be entered into a prize drawing for two tickets to Sherman Theater's show: Change: The Musical! Pick your date to attend: Dec. 11, 12, 18 or 19th!
This free activity takes approximately 1 hour. It is designed for adults or families. We encourage you to take pictures of clues, just in case a detail might be missed, and use your phone to google the next business if needed!
